The wine is made from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes grown in the vineyards of Montalcino.

The wine is aged in oak barrels, followed by an additional bottle aging. The result is a full-bodied wine with a deep ruby color, intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and vanilla, and a long, smooth finish. Banfi Belnero (Proprietor's Reserve) is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the complexity and elegance of Tuscan wines.
